Assuming it’s true, they are free to do whatever they please.

They can afford to be closed for a lot longer than three months.

It doesn't really matter if Rolex is closed or open.
ADs won't sell me what I want ... unless I bundle something I don't want.

You could always try liking a wider variety of product and not limiting yourself strictly to models that are profitable on the second hand market

It is a good point but at the moment there aren’t even any OPs 39 , and very limited datejsuts at most ADs. So there aren’t a lot of options sadly.

Altough I did buy an Omega today and couldn’t be happier! The SA was happy to take my money which is quite a refreshing experience.

Or Looking at other brands as well. I am not going to purchase watches I don't want or like to appease the AD for relationship status. I rather buy on grey market and add pieces I want and like...

ADs don’t want a relationship with you, they want to sell you products and services.

If you don’t want to buy what they have to sell then you don’t want them and they don’t want you. End of. No appeasement necessary.
